this keeps coming up in conversation so I have to ask. this is a genuine question.
where did the interpretation of bill cipher as a sex pest come from?
to be clear, I have nothing against bill being super sexual and in fact enjoy it quite a bit, but it's a read on him that I've never personally understood the origin of. I'm not trying to argue it, I legitimately want to understand it because it's an incredibly popular characterization
i know everyone's going to come at this from a different angle so I would love as many explanations as people are willing to give ! my ask box is open for people who'd rather explain it anonymously
I think a lot of people in the replies have pointed out Bill's fratboy persona and constant sexual innuendos a la "I fucked your mom" jokes that feed into an idea of him as a sex pest. However, what's more fascinating to me is that, as with all of his negative traits, he can dish it out, but he can't take it.
(2nd one is from the reddit AMA)
And while this could all very well be another form of mockery and deprecation toward the hypothetical reader of TBOB and people interacting with him on reddit, it's also interesting to note that, if taken in earnest, he has many firm boundaries himself. It hints that the sex pest fratboy persona is nothing more than a ruse, a bit, a mask that he adopts to rile people up, but it's not his default inclination.
I agree with one of the previous rebloggers about it being a power thing. (He's Bill. Obviously it's a power thing XD) But the second someone turns it around and puts him in a position of vulnerability, the mask breaks down.
idk. obviously everything he presents about himself is made up to some degree. i think sorting through the lies to puzzle through what it could truly say about him is a fun thought experiment :D and different people will have different takeaways and interpretations
YES! This is exactly what I was going to get into if I hadn't gotten hit in the face with a 2x4 and lost all steam immediately
All of the responses everyone else has given have been excellent and great reminders of a lot of things that slipped my mind, but at the end of the day there's so much evidence that he talks to talk but FUNDAMENTALLY CANNOT walk the walk
the one thing that makes me incapable of settling exactly where i think he sits is this
Rocky: *tries to sneak back into the house early in the morning*
Adrian, turning around on a spinning chair to face the door: Rocky want tell Adrian where been all night question?
Rocky: Rocky…Rocky with Grace all night.
Grace, turning around on another spinning chair: Want to try again?
Rocky:
Rocky: Well 🎵🎶🎶.
Grace's chair spins too far and he has to scootch it back to face Rocky again
Canon, but where was Rocky really, question?
sorry it’s actually so fucking crazy thinking abt how certain places have banned burqinis like literally making a woman take her clothes off in public like that shit is so fascist
genuinely horrific like that’s law mandated sexual assault & we just let it happen. hello. can anyone hear me.
Wip I’m never gonna finish. Here have this

late summer / early fall thoughts
big big big plans 😏
when can we see this on youtube?
“Ghosts are real” I can see how you could believe that
“Ghosts aren’t real” it’s very fair and rational that you believe that
“Ghosts aren’t real anymore” I’m about to hear a poem or very sad story
“Ghosts aren’t real yet” the fuck are you going to do
Ryland Grace is Sandy from Spongebob
This one resonated with me
Ooooo
next person i catch saying "umm actually this (male fictional character) is a bottom because hes PATHETIC 🤣" is getting an axe to the back of the head. explain to me why you think being sexually penetrated is an inherent demeaning act reserved only for those you see as weak without being misogynistic &/or homophobic. quickly
I agree with this. He's a bottom because I want to top him

Book Grace: This is all so cool! I am the first person to make contact with an alien. And then kill said alien. And then breed said alien. And then make contact with another intelligent alien species. And we can communicate. And we are working together! And I know its the end of the world and this probably isn't the time to be nerding out but, dang it! This is cool!! I just really love science!!!
Movie Grace: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! EVERYTHING IS TRYING TO KILL ME! I'M GOING TO DIE! Okay never mind. This alien guy is chill. Also I just really love science!!!
wandered across my local summer festival and ai 'illustrations' are plastered everywhere. the food trucks, the amusement park, the instagram menus, posters, ads, there's no escape. what an eye sore
